EnormO Cost to the Industrial World
of One Chicago Strike.

Emo rmOus Cost to the Industrial World
of One Chicago Strike.
CHICAGO, June 24.-It is difficult to
estimate with accuracy the full extent
of the financial loss resulting from the
strike which the bricklayers declared
off last night. The local loss in wages
can be closely computed and the Chi
cago merchants can estimate the amount
of trade which has been sacrificed.
Aside from this. however, the miners
are idle i'm Pennsylvania; the saw mills
and their operatives in Michigan and
Wisconsin; thousands of men are thrown
out of work i'm the stone quarries al
jacent to this city; the pressed brick
trade is affected all over the
United Stat es; thousands of dollars
have been lost to the railroad
companies: every branch of manufac-
ture identified i'm any way with the
building trades is a direct sufferer from
the strike; a careful estimate made of
the loss in wages to striking and locked
out employees in the vicinity of Chicago
alone foots up nearly two and one-half
million dollars. 1t would be difficult to
name a trade or business not directly a
sufferer from this prOtracted strike

GENERAL EARLY'S EXCUSE.
He BUSHES Into Print Against Rosser and
Opens His Mind.


RICHMOND, VA. June 22.-General
Jubal Early publishes letter this even
ing in reply to the recent utterance of
General Rosser in regard to his (Early's)
conduct in burning the city of Cham
bersburg, Pa, during the war. Rosser
said Early ought to be hanged by the
people of that city if ne should visit it
now. General Early justiiies the burn
ing as an act of retaliation, in strict ac-
cordance with the laws of war, for out
RACES committed under the orders of
Federal generals in the South. Notable
among these We're the burning of private
dwellings and library institutions at
Charlestown. W. Va: Lexington, Lynch
burg. Newton and other places in Vir-
ginia by General David Hunter.
Referring to Rosser. Early says:
..Rosser has shown his utter disregard
for the truth and have fully demonstra-
ted the falsity of many of his statements.
of history. he has recently appeared in
the role of a consummate ass. and it must
be confessed that he has proved himself
an adept in that character. 1t seems
that residence of several years in the
Northwest and the accumulation of con-
siderable property, by means best known
to himself. has had the effect of convinc-
ing him that the South was all wrong in
the struggle she made for independence
and self-government, and that it was
fortunate that his mighty efforts for four
years i'm her cause failed of success.
Early further says that if some of the
| Southern renegades, would, like Judas
Iscariot. hang themselves, the act might
be regarded as some atonement for their
apostacy and the most creditable they
could now perform.

sistant Treasurer Canda, at New York.
To keep him informed of the condition OF
affairs in Wall street, especially il any
thing serious should occur, but 50 far he

any assistance from the Treasury. lie

panic seem imminent he would author

necessary he would offer To redeem at

the fact that such a great decline could
occur without dragging down some of

large lines of stocks, but this was ex-
planned by the reports that Gonld, Field.

had taken up stocks which were in weak
hands and relieved the holders of the ne

A HEAVY LOSS.
ALABAMA'S HEAVY CALAMITY.
The Agricultural and Mechanical College at Au-
burn Burned-The Loss Nearly 5000 900.

AUBURN, ALA, June 4.-The State
Agricultural and Mechanical College
with the chemical laboratory and other
apparatus was burned to-day. The build
ing originally cost over 500, 900. The in
surance was 10000. A new building
will be erected at once.
MONTGOMERY, ALA, June 24.-The
burning of the Agricultural and Me
chanical College at Auburn, to-day, was
a great calamity. The institution was
established under a grant by Congress of
lands to found such colleges in several
States. Its annual income from this
source is 100000 md $4,000 from the
State. The buildings were given to the
State by the Methodist Episcopal
Church and originally cost $s5, 900.
The splendid chemical laboratory, to-
gether with the natu raj history, geologi-
cal and botanical cabinets and apparatus
of all sorts had been gathered through
many years and were exceedingly valua-
BILE, many of the cabinet specimens be
ing very rare. The total value of the
stroyed was over 100000. The build
ing with its improvements was
also valued at over 100000. All
is a total loss, except a little chemi-
cal apparatus and the contents of the
Treasurer's and Presidents office.
The fire broke out about 10 o'clock this
morning in the State Chemical Labora-
tory, which had been used the day be-
fore. The first assistant in this depart
ment sleeps in the building, and at IL
O'Clock last night made an examination
and found all right everywhere. No
doubt is entertained that the fire was
causel by rats gnawing matches. The
insurance Is 10000. The building will
be replaced at once. The mechanical
laboratory is in a separate building. and

Straw Lumber


The other day we had occasion to in
vestigate pretty thoroughly the charac-
ter, properties and uses for straw lum-
ber. As some of our readers know, this
il an article manufactured at the West
and turned out in boards and sheets
thirty-three inches i'm width by twelve
feet i'm length. and Of various thick
nesses. 1t is hevier than black walnut,
has no grain, is of the color Of straw
board though considerably darker. and
is much stronger and sitter than ordi-
nary timber. Though made in consider
able quantities at the present time, the
supply seems hardly equal to the de-
mand. There are advantages IN this
material which in the near fu-
ture will probably make it OF
the highest value not only for carpenters
and architects, but for the car-builder,
and, i'm fact, for mechanics generally.
Its toughness, the firmness with which
il holds nails and screws, the ease with
which il can be cut, and the fact that u
can be bent by the aid Of heat, shaped
i'm dies, and is not liable to shrink Oh
warp, and is little affected by water,
even when unprotected, makes the range
of its probable uses extraordinary
great. Ii seems to be a nonductor OF heat
and electricity. Ii can be rolled up IN
to pipes Of great strength and hight
weight, and is available for range oi
uses for panelling purposes for which
we have no equivalent.

THE CHAMPLAIN DISASTER.
A Young Lady Swims to the shore with
n Child In Her Arms

CHICAGO, June 24-The schooner
Racine. the crew of which rescued the
survivors of the Champlain disaster. ar
rived here last evening. At the time
the Champlain caught fire the Racine
was lying alongside pier six miles
from Charlevoix. Capt. Hanson woke
up, saw the burning steamer, and sent
a part of his crew in a yawl to rescue the
perishing passengers. With the re-
mainder of his crew he ran down the
the beach to an old fish boat, launched
it and started for the wreck. The boat
had not been used for long time and
leaked. When about half way out To
the Champlain. Capt. Hanson came
across a young woman who was swim
ming toward the shore with a child.
This was Miss Mary Wakefield, of
Charlevoix. She had jumped overheard
from the steamer with the six-year-old
child of Capt. Kehoe clasped in her
arms. Grasping a broken fender she
chung to it, and seizing the clothing of
the child i'm her teeth. she bravely struck
out for the shore. Capt. Hanson says
she is the pluckiest woman he ever saw
i'm his life When he started to take her
and the child into his boat she told him
To hurry away to the others, as she
could take care Of herself. She reached
the shore in safety and when another
OF the shipwrecked passengers was taken
from the boat i'm am almost frozen condi-
tion. she took off her flannel underskirt
and wrapped it around him.
When Capt. Hanson reached the
wreck the yawl of the Racine had
picked up fifteen persons. He saved six
more and seventeen others fioated ashore
by the aid of planks and life preservers.
Among the bodies picked up by Capt.
Hanson was that of Mrs. Ella Cooper
Smith, of Charievoix, Ii was found
floating on the surface of the lake. and
the position of the life preserver showed
that Mrs. Smith had worked it down so
as to keep as much of her body as posi-
BILE out of the water. Becoming be
numbed and fatigued her head had fallen
over until it was submerged and she was
drowned.
In speaking of Capt. Case, Capt. Han
son said he never knew what courage i'm
"A man meant until he witnessed the he
roic fortitude displayed by the brave
commander of the Champlain.
